There was a slope (actually more of a mound) around the steering column on mine. I was able to solve that problem by 1) cutting out the laminate for about 1/2 of the top most part of the slope since the steering column cover would hid that portion and 2) by taking a router to the underside of the laminate and trimming it down on the bottom so it actually matched the increase in slope of the metal plate on the floor. The total area affected was about 10-11" wide and about 8" front to back. I was able to
leave a hole about 5" x 5" and taper the remaining amount off of each side so that the laminate actually lays almost flat.
